Hare Krishna dear Devotees, please accept my humble obeisances! All glories to Srila Prabhupada!
It says that even in Bhava stage one is still may be under the influence of maya sometimes. Because in that stage envy still remains. Only in the stage of prema bhakti envy vanishes.
From the beginning stage of bhakti which is shraddha up to the prema there is no any need for time distance. There are need for two things:
1. Endeavor
2. Krishna's mercy
If we are sincere and endeavor sincerely we will attract Krishna easily. Again, it does not need time it need sincerity. For example, Katvanga Maharaj perfected his life within few seconds.
MAYA as the illusory energy of the material world can be compared to a veil which covers all living entities allowing them to live out their illusions in the material world. If, however, a living being chooses to return to spiritual consciousness, such illusory energy will give way to YOGAMAYA, its spiritual counterpart.
Yogamaya’s purpose in the material world is just the opposite of Maya’s. Whereas Maya creates a situation for the living being to live an illusory existence in forgetfulness of his/her original position, Yogamaya creates an atmosphere whereby the living being can penetrate the world’s illusions and relish the intimacy with the Lord, the source of all existence.
Maya is darkness while Krishna is light. Wherever there is light there can't be darkness. So as Vikas Prabhu said if we remember Krishna, chant His names, serve Him, Maya can not do anything to us since we are in Krishna's complete shelter.
